A Passenger Train, by the Breaking Of
Rail, Goes Through n Bridge.
BosToN, Feb. 6.-By the breaking of a
rail an express train leaving Boston Fri
day evening was precipitated through q
bridge near Woodstock, Vt. Fire then
broke out, consuming the wreck. Thirty
three bodies have been recovered, and it is
supposed the total number OF lives lost
will reach forty or over, while there
is large number Of wounded, some Of
whom will die. Most Of the bodies recov-
cred are simply chsrred truiAxe, tctslls sur.
recognizable. Seven or eight bodies were
to-day indentified by friends, and many
heart-rending scenes were witnessed. It
is utterly impossible to identify more than
ten or twelve of those recovered, the
clothing being entirely gone and the
bodies burned to crisp. Little idea
can be formed of the difficulties
in the way of obtaining report of the ac-
cident that would give the public correct
idea of the condition of things at the time
of the accident, and ever since the ther.
mometer has registered from five degrees
to fifteen degrees below zero. The suffer-
ing from cold was intense There are only
two or three farm houses within two miles
of the wreck, and these are filled with

WAR-LIKE TALK.
Men al Washington Who Declare That the
Fight Should be Begun at Once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-It is expected tine
House bill relating to the fisheries dispute
will come up this afternoon. Mr.. Belmont
prefers this bill to that of the Senate The
majority in the House incline to the Bel
mont bill because it goes further. The
members Of the Foreign Affairs Committee
in the House are very much in earnest in
favoring retaliatory measures. Mr.. Grain,
of Texas, a member of this committee, says
vigorous measure should be pushed
through and then the country should pre-.
pare itself for war. There was no harm in
making the preparation. "We certainly
would be stronger in enforcing measure OF
retaliation if we were prepared for any
emergency" Mr.. Grain favors general
system of coast defenses. Mr.. Singleton,
of Mississippi, also member of the COM
mittee, says the pending measure means
that England must stop interfering with
our rights. IF they do not" said he, two

ways been that way. We have not been
prepared. We have stood great deal,
but when we have moved it has been found
we were better prepared than was thought.
If they do, there is no danger of our
not being prepared. If they do not
regard this warning, England
will receive worse defeat than
she has ever suffered from us before"
A naval officer in speaking to-day of the
Importance of Congress this session, giving

Steps Taken to Put the Militia in
Better Shape.
The Number VIII BE Increased, Old Forts
strengthened and New Ones Built.

BosroN, Feb. Am Ottawa dispatch to
the Globe says: For the last week the mil
itary department here has made many
moves which might indicate that the Gov
ernment feared that war might result be-
tween Great Britain and the United States.
-Four weeks ago it was decided to remove
Deputy Adjutant General Van Strau-
benzee, of the Fifth Militia District,
and Brigade Major Matter, with
headquarters at Montreal, as we'll as
Deputy Adjutant General Duchesney,
OF Military District No. 2, Quebec,
and Lieutenant Colonel Morsley, of the
Ninth District, at Halifax, as the places
were to remain nominally vacant until
next year, when general reorganization
of forces would take place. Wit. in the last
few days this decision has been reconsider.
The officers will be retained and general
frightening up of the forces will be begun.
The drill sheds at Montreal, Halifax, Que
bee, Winnipeg, Victoria, B. C.;Charlotte-
town, P. e. l., and Kingston, will be put
in perfect order and the armories at an
early day refitted with the latest improved
weapons. The Minister of Militia has
within the last ten days sent an order to
England for ten thousand Martini Henry
rifles, with half the number of Spencer.
An order has been given to the La Chute
and Quebec cartridge companies for more
ammunition than is usually ordered in three
seasons, and they are notified to hold them
selves in readiness to supply larger quan.
tity each month from March /. Many regu.
lar English army officers have lately been
sent to the military colleges in ST. John and
Kingston, and it is said others are soon to
be dispatched. The fortresses at st. John
and other points along the st. Lawrence
to Kingston and Windsor, and other points
along the lakes, are to be reftted early
next season, and others may be con-
structed. The garrisons of Quebec and
Halifax are to be reinforced by British
regulars. 1t is proposed to increase the
militia force of Canada from 1850 to
60,000 men.

High License Bill Passed.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 3.-In the House
If Representatives this afternoon the
Prosser High License bill, which had al
ready passed the Senate, was called up.
The bill fixes the license in cities of ten
thousand or more people at $1,000, and in
smaller places at $500. A motion to amend
by making the higher license $500 instead
of 81 1000, failed-yeas 81, nays A. Tho bill
finally passed by an emphatic majority,
and will doubtless become law. The bill
permits municipal authorities to make the
license as much in excess of the above as
they may see fit, and does not affect the
local option provisions previously passed.

Mills-An Indication OF Scrap in Europe
When the Birds Begin to Sing.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6-As straw,
which shows which way the European
war-wind blows, the people of Whining
ton are attaching great deal Of i'm
portance to the unusual activity at the
Dupont Powder Mills on the Brandywine,
a few miles from that city. The mills
have never in their history been more
busy, and the men are worked night and
day in some parts of the great establish
ment, which is turning out black
powder, such as soldiers use, by the tons. The
powder-makers are told that the orders.
now on hand can not be filled fast enough,
and these indications of an unprecedented
demand for the article has strengthened
the current belief that the Duponts are
shipping large quantities of explosives
to France or Germany, and that the war
in Europe is coming surely in the spring
Just before the Franco-Prussian war tho
mills were run on extra time, as is the
case now, and this was taken then, as now,
to be pretty sure harbinger of war.
Persons closely connected with the
Dupont works, and who are familiar with
what is going on at other powder mills in
the country, say that in all Of them there
is almost as great activity as at the works
on the Brandywine, and while nobody in
the business is willing to admit that all
this increased manufacturing of powder
is because Of demands and orders from
Europe, they evidently do not expect
people to believe their little evasive
answers and their stories about sending
the powder to the coal-mines. 1t is q
fact well-known in marine circles that
the Duponts have been endeavoring for
some time past to have large consignments
of goods sent to France by transatlantic
steamers from New York, and that they
have not been successful in these en-
deavors. Recourse was then had to sail
ing vessels, and inquiries have been made
for charters. The shipping men say that
the Duponts will now purchase vessels.
There is decided smell of war in it, all Of
which can not be very well disguised.

their piteous pleas for mercy. She then
took rope, went to the garret and hung
herself from rafter, but was cut down by
her little son before life was extinct. A
